Based on the hit web-series of the same name, How to Talk Australians - The Movie, sees the students of the Delhi College of Linguistics leave the classroom and head Down Under.

When their plane is diverted to the country town of Dubbo due to storms, and their tour-leader is detained by customs, the hapless bunch unearth the 'real' Australia while never making it to Sydney, Melbourne… or even Brisbane. 

From Tony Rogers, Director the of internationally acclaimed series Wilfred, and featuring an all star comedy cast including Shane Jacobson (Kenny, Oddball), Rohan Ganju (The Emu War, Urvi Went to an All Girls School), Danielle Walker (Gold Diggers, MICF 26: Bittersweet),  Dave Lawson (Utopia) and Rick Davies (Offspring), join us for the premiere screening event featuring cast.
